Hound
Bio
Ryker “Hound” Issaksen
22 | male | 5’8”
black hair, brown eyes, neutral expression. maroon markings underneath eyes, across the nose bridge, arms, back, waist. minimal design, mainly just triangular.
blood ichorlation — ability to manipulate blood. doesn’t have to be his, but more consequences and difficulties arise from manipulating others. deemed a curse and an ability from the most heinous demons of all. rare as most ichorlation users are killed as a baby.
(followed loosely by @/thecharacterchick)
Personality
motivated solely on other people’s stereotypes about him. he’s supposed to be a morally ambiguous killer? that’s what he’ll be. a feral child? a runaway? he’ll do that.
doesn’t really think about what he himself wants. just tries to get by.
besides that, he’s relatively levelheaded. has good deductive skills and ability to realize what’s the most convenient for him. however, this leads him to places that he doesn’t really benefit from — because in the moment he makes the decision, he only thinks, “what’s prolonging my life? what will get me to tomorrow?” so he’s pretty miserable in most environments he ends up.
he has trouble holding his tongue if he thinks someone is being idiotic, weird, or annoying. this clashes with the fact he tries to solely rely on living; the places he’s in aren’t the environments where that can just go by. this usually leads to some dramatic punishment.
he’s witty and sarcastic.
Beliefs
believes that he won’t make it very long. he also doesn’t think the world will make it very long in the state it’s in. he didn’t really think of a future - in fact, he can’t even picture where he’d bee in a year. he hasn’t thought that far ahead.
the world is too fucked to fix now, so there’s no use in thinking about a future that won’t exist. he thinks everyone else is clinging onto a hope that should’ve long ago died.
as for himself, he believes he’s just another name that will be in the death toll.
he also fully believes he is destined to be just as much of a curse as everyone made him out to be so to his ichorlation.
Family
*refer to good notes jot notes from class i forgo their names
came from a small mountain town in norway. born with markings of a curse the town thought long had died out. they wanted to kill him. his father wasn’t respected, however, his mother was. because of that, she was able to let her son live.
after they passed from outside wars coming to their hometown, the rest of the town cast him away. (roughly 10 around this time? need to come up with better timelines……) he lived in the wild for a few years by himself.
Values
survival is what he values most, despite not believing he’ll live that long. he doesn’t really care about much else.
“i’ll be happy if im eating good food and waking up to see the next day. that’s what i think it’s most important, anyways.” (HE WOULD NOT FUCKING SAY THAT) (probably would fucking edgelord)
he does value justice, despite everything. he just doesn’t think he should be the one to enforce it.
Motives
despite all his beliefs, he does want to stop the stereotypes brought to ichorlation users. he hopes if he ends up good, that people will respect them, and less kids will end up like him or dead solely from an ability.
Recurring feelings
“This is it. I’m dead.”
That maybe the mental clock on his life in his head has blinded him, and he could’ve been living much differently. Instead of doing all the things he’s done, he should’ve put more work into being good.
Not helping the very people who are causing every war in existence.
Sometimes he misses the Verlace family. Part of him wishes he never left, and apart of him wishes he killed them all in their sleep.
lotsssss of guilt about the whole Verlace family in general… see me i know u got ts in ur head so yeah
Behaviours
speaks carefully while lying, even if guilt is gnawing at his bones. is naturally good at it.
he is smart, but is still short tempered and acts in a feral, berserk manner often. even if he knows he shouldn’t go all out and massacre an attack, he will, because he’s pissed off.
likes talking about mundane things or thoughts, but really doesn’t talk to many people. he likes getting other perspectives on topics and genuinely finds it interesting, however, never seeks out these opinions.
again, often acts out and goes berserk. he immediately goes on the attack if he feels threatened, and is prone to running away, even if he regrets all the times he has before.
